1 post | 2 read | 3 to read
Loxley Fiddleback can see the dead,but the problem is... the dead can see her. Ghosts have always been cruel to Loxley Fiddleback, especially the spirit of her only friend, alive only hours before. Loxley isnt equipped to solve a murder: she lives near the bottom of a cutthroat, strip-mined metropolis known as The Hole, suffers from crippling anxiety and doesnt cotton to strangers. Worse still, shes haunted. She inherited her ability to see spirits from the women of her family, but the dead see her, too. Ghosts are drawn to her like a bright fire, and their lightest touch leaves her with painful wounds. Loxley swears to take blood for blood and find her friends killer. In doing so, she uncovers a conspiracy that rises all the way to the top of The Hole. As her enemies grow wise to her existence, she becomes the quarry, hunted by a brutal enforcer named Hiram McClintock. In sore need of confederates, Loxley must descend into the strangest depths of the city in order to have the revenge she seeks and, ultimately, her own salvation.

Pickpick

An interesting and unique book...a lesbian protagonist with Down‘s syndrome who sees ghosts set in an alternative U.S.A struggles past surviving and into freedom and hope. Though it has a lot packed in, it‘s vivid and compelling with and old west feel. I‘ll be thinking about this one for a while.
⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2
